This and That!

Last week was an interesting one. Started with my cell phone giving me problems.  Seems Google and sometimes Android phones don’t get along. About all I could do was receive calls.  Anytime I opened an app I stated getting ads from Google about selling me ad blocker, more virus protection.  Rebooting didn’t help. Once I didn’t need it ( Galen was traveling ) he got home and took my phone to ATT.  They took everything off so I got to spend hours getting everything back on!  Might have been easier to get a new phone!!!! Good thing, I figured out I don’t need it all the time! There have many times I wish we still had our landline.

My downtime I finished binding the last of the quilts. These will go to Linus soon.

I called this one tossed animals, so I thought the fabric for the back was perfect!

Started working on dog bananas for Fall and Thnksgiving.  While sorting through my fabrics, I found about a yard of this cute Thanksgiving fabric.

Have some others cut and sewn now but not finished.  Will get more worked on this week.

Took my main sewing machine in for servicing.  It’s been a while  since it had a good cleaning.

I am really hoping the weather forecast is right.   One more week of low 90s, then we start to cool off.  They are saying it is a La Nina year which means warm and dry for us.   The dry part is not good. 

Hope everyone has a good week

  Design Wall Monday I hope everyone enjoying the Memorial Day holiday remembers why we celebrate this day.. Last week ended up being busier than planned. But I was able to work more on my blocks. This may end up being a table square or a table runner. Played a little bit the blocks. Not sewn together just playing with layout. I have more HSTs  made. And some others ready to be made into blocks. Didn’t get to meet up with Osie last week.  Hopefully we can get together later this week. And needo get busy on more doggie bandanas. Plan to spend lots of time bonding with my machine!!   poodlegirls     Daily Happenings ,  General Sewing ,  Life at home ,  Quilting ,  Uncategorized   Leave a comment     May 26, 2025   1 Minute

  Day Late-Design Wall Monday The best laid plans don’t always happen!! A day late but then considering I haven’t posted since late May……. Early in June my body said enough already, take a break, get some sleep. So that’s what I did. Sinuses and or allergies made sure I listened. At 78 I have found when the body says stop already it pays to listen! I did get the Alice in Wonderland quilt bound. It is one the way to CA. Backed it with a cute cuddle piece of fabric. I managed to start another quilt top. Was putting things away and decided instead of putting this one away I should start it. I had a Laurel Birch jelly roll plus my contrast fabric put aside for Donna Jordan’s Diamond Trip top. Diamond Trip is a free pattern on Jordan Fabrics website. With July 4th rapidly approaching it was time to work on more doggie bandanas for both La Mia Bella dog salons. While I was cutting I did more everyday ones as well. Finished up 80 on Sunday. Various sizes-medium which our Lady wears, ...

  Mother’s Day 2025 First off Happy Mother’s Day.  Being a dog Mom Lady wished me a happy day. Not sure what made me think of this. Many years ago- mid to late 50’s into early 60’s we almost always spent Mother’s Day by going shad fishing! We would get up early in the morning,  Mom would pack a lunch, load up Dad’s aluminum boat on to the car top carriers and we would drive to Port Deposit, MD.  Spend the day on the water fishing on the Susquehana River.  Sometimes we caught shad, sometimes not. Mom was always very careful when she fileted them- very boney.  I had not thought about that in a very long time. We were lucky and had rain earlier this week. Up to 6.66 inches for the year.   Get to keep the irrigation system off for another week. Galen was out last Sunday with a friend.   They went to an are near San Antonio.  He did get some nice pictures.  Comanche Skimmer.       Golden Cheek Warbler P...
